$1 Million Dollar Winning Powerball Ticket Sold in Fond du Lac
Ticket sold by the lucky Hansen's BP
MADISON, Wis. – Hansen's BP (414 W. Johnson St.) in Fond du Lac sold a $1 Million winning ticket for Saturday's Powerball drawing. The ticket matched all five numbers 25-37-39-61-62 but not the Powerball number.
Hansen's BP has proven to be quite a lucky location. The store has sold 19 Badger 5 jackpot winning tickets, one SuperCash! top prize winning ticket, and now, a $1 Million dollar Powerball ticket—along with many winning scratch tickets. "Maybe we're the new Miracle Mile," said storeowner Julie Hansen, referring to the nearby strip of businesses between 7th and 21st Street in Fond du Lac with the title Miracle Mile. "This may be our first Powerball winner but we're definitely not strangers to selling winning tickets."
Hansen's BP storied history of selling winning Lottery tickets includes these big winners:
· $350,000 SuperCash! ticket, June 6, 2017
· $81,000 Badger 5 ticket, May 2, 2016
· $124,000 Badger 5 ticket, February 6, 2012

Wisconsin Lottery retailers who sell winning tickets over $599 receive a 2 percent incentive up to $100,000. Hansen's BP will receive $20,000 for selling the ticket.
The Powerball jackpot continues to roll and the estimated jackpot for the Wednesday, February 26 drawing is $70 Million annuity ($50.7 Million cash).
